Glen Powell Says ‘My Mom Would Never Let Me’ Replace Tom Cruise in ‘Mission: Impossible’ Franchise: ‘That’s a Death Trap’


Will Glen Powell replace Tom Cruise in the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise? 'My mom would never let me do that,' said Powell. 'That's a death trap.'

On his Nov. 12 broadcast of “The Pat McAfee Show,” the host FaceTimed Powell and read him the rumor, saying, “We just want to call and say congratulations, brother.” “That’s a death trap,” Powell added, of course nodding to the fact that Cruise performs his own stunts for the action series, including hanging off the side of a moving airplane, scaling the tallest building in the world and driving a motorcycle off of a cliff before parachuting down. Cruise showed up to the premiere of that film, posting an Instagram photo of him and Powell with the caption, “Fun night with friends, watching a movie!”
